All Hail The QUEEN!!! Prayers and comfort to the Franklin Family as we say Good Bye to a TRUE LEGEND. My heart is overwhelmed because Mrs Aretha had such a great influence on My Musical Life. I grew up listening to her almost every day. Business Woman, Philanthropist, Mother….. her Achievements go on and on. I’m so glad I got a chance to tell her how much I love her. 💝💝💝
